An Unacceptable Mate

Chapter Thirteen

It was a blissful concoction of pain and pleasure. And as he sucked harder on my throat, my blood pumped faster to his delight. The pureblood groaned deeply enough for it to vibrate right to my core and bring his name onto my lips in a ragged moan.

I'd never been willingly bitten and so aroused at the same time. I'd never felt this deep sense of lust which was both ensnaring and breath-taking. Never.

Never...

Never...

    "I see you and my brother have gotten a little progressive," someone remarked.

I opened my eyes, chest still heaving, skin glistening with sweat, pupils wide and deep. "W...what's going on?"

The train cabin jolted as we entered a tunnel. Across from me stood Inerra with his arms crossed, dark hair falling into inquisitive sapphire eyes as he absorbed my excited state with somewhat annoyance he fought to hide. 

    "While you were fooling around, your mind became a lot more vulnerable and easy to access. You were going to enter some sort of dream slash reality world with my little brother where you could discover the true theory behind the birds and the bees, but I'm afraid I intervened. You see, I don't like it when you're with other men or vampires, especially if they have you pinned to a wall while thrusting their pelvis," he told me.

My cheeks blazed, anger raging through me in a violent act. "You were spying on us? What the hell is wrong with you, you creepy mother f..."

He was suddenly on top of me, body rolling mine flat out across the green leather seats. From the arousal just seconds ago, I was unable to fight the sound of pleasure at his actions. He gripped my jaw with his strong, pale hand, dipping his face down to my neck and kissing me there. "You like it so much more when I dominate you. Your nerves just can't handle me. I make you feel so good. It's all about me and only me, Charlie Rose. Don't forget I can do things to your body that Acera will only dream of."

His face an inch from mine and his intense sapphire eyes suddenly glowing electric blue, I could do nothing but try to deny his words. It was like he'd hypnotised me.

    "Don't fight it," he coaxed in a whisper, touching his lips to mine and then slipping his tongue into my mouth.

My back arched, arms twining around his neck. I could feel his smile against my mouth and something else somewhere else...

    "Go back to him, tell him you regret it all. Tell him you hate him for the creature that he is," Inerra purred into my ear, tongue intruding there.

My heart thrashed around in its ribcage, trying to break free. "Get off," I said, hand on his chest.

    "I can keep you here as long as I like," he growled under his breath, nipping my ear with his teeth and then kissing along my jaw.

Fury drove my heart faster. "Inerra, you really ought to listen to me more often," I warned and when he lifted his head to cock a brow in amusement, I slapped him as hard as humanly possible in the face. He cursed, blowing out a breath at the sting of the blow. I squeezed my eyes shut and told myself that I wanted to be with Acera and not Inerra.

I wanted to run.

    "It's all my fault. I couldn't control myself. How do you manage with Alastria?" I could hear my mate whispering fearfully.
